I have been quoted >R140 for a new cap for the 2stroke oil tank on my 582. Any alternatives?

I replaced twice. It's punishment for overzealous pre-flight checks and gorilla tightening. :)

cut a spacer out of thin rubber/conveyor belt and place it at the base of the filler hole..... helps prevent over tightening
